Property Description

MOTIVATED SELLER!! Perched high above Tennessee Avenue in the heart of St. Elmo, 5110 Tennessee Ave is a spacious 1,288 square foot historic bungalow that feels peaceful and private. Sitting well above the street, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers quiet surroundings and a sense of seclusion rarely found along this corridor. Inside, tall ceilings, original historic windows, preserved arches, and a gas burning fireplace showcase timeless character, while the screened front porch provides mountain views that never get old. A dedicated living room and dining room create comfortable separation for everyday living and entertaining. The newly updated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry and butcher block countertops, offering both charm and modern functionality. Original heart of pine tongue and groove flooring pair nicely with newer vinyl flooring throughout the home. Both bedrooms are generously sized and filled with warm southern light, and the shared bathroom has been updated with a walk-in shower. At the rear, a large laundry room offers excellent storage and presents the opportunity for a second bathroom with the right vision. A walk-in basement provides additional storage or space for a workshop. Recent improvements include a newer roof (installed in 2021), HVAC (installed October 2024), new gutters, and a new privacy fence on one side. The north side of the home features a level, low-maintenance brick patio that connects to the back entry, creating a quiet outdoor retreat. Parking is located at the rear of the property and extends to the end of the right of way, allowing for additional guest or auxiliary parking. The seller intends for this to be an As-Is sale and may require a lease back, with the earliest move out anticipated in April. A little about the neighborhood: Historic St. Elmo is an eclectic and vibrant community nestled at the foot of Lookout Mountain, roughly four miles from Downtown Chattanooga.
